STAFF FAVORITES

The Hodnett Cooper team has years of on-Island dining experience. We’ve tried everything. There are so many great St Simons Island restaurants, you may not know where to begin. For food lovers like us, we’ve compiled a list of staff favorite dishes to get you started.

BREAKFAST

French Toast at Café Frederica – Ooh la la…made with French bread and served with powdered sugar and maple syrup, there’s no better way to rise and shine.

Sandcastle Breakfast Buffet – Not for the timid, this buffet has everything you ever wanted for breakfast. And it is all dee-lish.

Palmer’s Village Cafe – Five star cuisine on the coast! Omelets , eggs to order, pancakes, or biscuits and gravy there is something to please everyone.

LUNCH

Crab cakes at Barbara Jeans – Famous for their crab cakes—which are primarily crab and very little “cake”—the restaurant now ships these babies to an ever-growing fan base. Careful, you may get addicted. Be sure to add a side of white cheddar cheese grits!

Barbecuban at Southern Soul – A twist on the barbecue sandwich, the Barbecuban features mustard and pickles. A side of Brunswick Stew goes nicely as well.

Fried pickles at Gnat’s Landing – This is the South and we do like to fry things. Go ahead, give it a go.

Oysters Redfern at Catch 228 – Served on the half shell, oysters are cooked with BBQ sauce and bacon.
